But I have so much fun with it, my first ever Mustang too. The most fun I have had with a car since I was 17 and had a 68 Pontiac LeMans and I’m 44, lol.
Well for me since I was 21 and had a '65 VW Beetle. I'm 59.

When the album is playing, press the VOICE COMMAND button on the steering wheel and give the command WHAT'S PLAYING. This will let you know what pronunciation she is listening for. Also, make sure the album names are listed and spelled correctly.

I tried your advice and found vast improvement.

She's right, I did just the rear springs so I could wait till the struts wore some more. Whiteline brackets & BMR lca's fixed the fishtail. Then I got 18x9 rims and tires. My pony handles like a corvette now.

The Tardis is under the hood. Crazy amount of free space under there. Seems like an oddly narrow turn radius at parking lot speed. Might be a result of the PP front end. The steering wheel also takes some getting used to in a parking lot, but is great for road handling.

Here's my two cents, I've owned a number of cars and driven countless over my 41 years. I bought my V6 on a whim. Now, if I could, I'd drive this thing all day everyday, just cuz. It's not smooth, it's not quiet, and it's not going to beat every other car at the light. IT IS soooo very cool though, so very loud, and so very fun!
